I can answer pretty much anything related to the dog and cat grooming process. This includes specific question about any part of the grooming process, home how to do its, grooming behavior issues, how to find and keep a good groomer etc. I specialize in dealing with behavior issue pets and handicapped pets. I thrive on the challeng of figuring these guys out and finding was to make the grooming process as pleasant as possible for them. I like to experiment with new technique but I also rely on "tried and true" technique.

I have always groomed without a breed predjudice and look for the good in every dog. I am seldom disappointed!
